Hi!, I just got GameEx and installed it on a WinXP machine. GameEx ran perfectly the first time and I finished playing a game and exited GameEx. When I try to run GameEx now, it shows the "nag" screen and after the wait time dops me back to the Desktop. I have had GameEx for 1 day. i tried several configutation items and reloaded .Net framework and still have the same problem. any ideas?

hmmm, well it looks like it didn't successfully initialize the DirectInput Gamepad support.

I would try a couple things. Open the Setup Wizard and use search to find input. Check Input Settings and click next.

1) Set 'Enable Keyboard DirectInput' to 'No'

2) Set 'Enable Gamepad/Joystick' to 'DONT initialise and use Joystick'

See what happens.

Hey,

I uninstalled evrything, restored to a day before the initial install and reinstalled M.A.M.E. then GameEx and let it find .NetFramework and FFDShow and it all works as advertised!

Thanks for the suggestions and help, I will play with my new toy later tonight! :D
